mircea_popescu: <benkay> fund'll probably be around for a few years, eh? << yes.
mircea_popescu: <jurov> so if, say, bitpay suddenly croaks, F.DERP NAV will increase by 240 BTC? << yes.
mircea_popescu: <benkay> kakobrekla, mike_c, jurov, mircea_popescu: i think this is an open question. does F.DERP NAV include coverage? << yes. let's model this thing :
mircea_popescu: F gets 100 btc in cash, issues 50 btc worth of f.a shares and 50 btc worth of f.b shares. 10 btc of each sells.
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [AM1] 4 @ 0.17 = 0.68 BTC [-]
mircea_popescu: 100 of which is equity of shareholders, 20 is provisions.
mircea_popescu: f.a croaks. f.b now has the same 120 in cash, but equity moves : 110 shareholders, 10 provisions. leaving a nav gain of 10.
mircea_popescu: f now has 90 in cash, and nav dropped 20 from last, and 10 lifetime.
jurov: you mean d.a and d.b ?
mircea_popescu: now, this is not mandatory, in the sense that an investor can evaluate the nav through absolutely any methodology that investor likes.
jurov: won't there be f.mpif-style marketmaker for f.derp?
benkay: fuq is going on there?
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, could use some tutoring about stocks / shares / dividends as well, mainly from the perspective of getting something listed
jurov: makes sense, only i suspect f.derp will fall to quirky pricing of mpex assets

jurov: wouldn't be better to pay out part of it right after d.* event?
kuzetsa: cazalla: which one is that on? gurochan? or is it 4chan and I just don't pay close enough attention?
mircea_popescu: jurov in principle if one wants to keep the same btc value that one just sells share
benkay: <jurov> on a second thought, it will result in money cumulating in f.derp whenever d.* croaks with some promise "will be paid out in few years" // yeah, this.

benkay: ASSPLAIN YOURSELF, CAZALLA

cazalla: kuzetsa, that'd cause more harm to your wallet, wouldn't it?
DreadKnight: that Hannah Minx chick is all about cultural appropriation xD
kuzetsa: I'm lawful evil in most things, so the concept of boycotting a business whose practices aren't illegal or against my own personal practices would just be pointless.
kuzetsa: mircea_popescu: yeah, I've done the furniture thing (let's leave it to the imagination who was the furiture for who)

DreadKnight: they seem to have knee protection, so probably walked in 4 limbs for quite a bit
kuzetsa: DreadKnight: yeah, the knee pad thing is a good safety measure for uhm... science O_O
DreadKnight: first one appeals to my sapiosexual side, second one has funny face
DreadKnight: kuzetsa, are you into that sort of science as well? :D
kuzetsa: DreadKnight: ah, fair enough -- I thought sapiosexual was an ok word for my own preferences until I realized the extra fancy term: "panromantic demisexual" was a much more accurate thing in my case (as far as labels go)
kuzetsa: DreadKnight: which science?
benkay: so uh for the retards in the room what precisely are your inclinations, kuzetsa ?
benkay: panromantic demisexual
benkay: demi - not really into sex?
benkay: panromantic - lover of all?
kuzetsa: as far as romantic relationships are concerned, physicallity is something I neither object to nor expect
kuzetsa: or is it spelled physicality?
kuzetsa: benkay: yeah, all -- in the sense of there not being any particular body type or sexual or gender identity I find to be a dealbreaker
DreadKnight: would be great if less people were all about sex; maybe would see less stupid people with lots of kids as well
cazalla: DreadKnight, you can always neck yourself
benkay: kuzetsa: typically people focus more on the kinds of folks they want around rather than the kinds of folks they find objectionable
kuzetsa: DreadKnight: isn't the cancer astrological sign the one that looks like a 69?
DreadKnight: cazalla, so far I don't have kids, so that basically lowers population by itself if doing the math
cazalla: DreadKnight, but if you're so smart, surely makes sense to have kids then
benkay: cazalla: that raises an interesting question. why'd you choose to have kids?
cazalla: benkay, because i thought i was going to die
cazalla: i still am, perhaps just not as soon
DreadKnight: cazalla, maybe eventually, but it's not a must, need other things first
benkay: what was the timeframe when you made the call?
cazalla: benkay, as it turns out, i had pretty bad sinus infection
DreadKnight: cazalla, anyway, plenty of kids made and abandoned, it would be smarter to adopt one then make a new one just because imo
benkay: instead of what, cancer?
benkay: DreadKnight: gotta start from a known-good state.
cazalla: yeah plus list of other shit i googled, doctor didn't really help much
cazalla: benkay, obviously wasn't the sole reason but thinking i was going to die sooner than later, seemed like a good idea to have a kid
benkay: DreadKnight: this is the kind of advice that ruins people's lives: "go adopt a rescue animal for your first dog! you'll have no idea what it's suffered through or how trainable it is! think of the poor dogs!"
benkay: mnope nope nope nope nope
benkay: if you've never trained a dog, set both of yourselves up for success.
cazalla: DreadKnight, why would you adopt a kid, spend money on it when it's not even yours?
benkay: 'cause you're a hairshirt ecofreak.
cazalla: a million other kids can starve for all i care
DreadKnight: benkay, personally I think pets will pretty much disappear in favor of robots soon, but that's just me; anyway, jumping from humans to pets is quite a leap
DreadKnight: cazalla, we're all the same matter and it's not like I don't have physical weaknesses, same applies for my potential mate
benkay: do you have a pet, children, or any sort of long term human companion, DreadKnight ?
cazalla: DreadKnight, why not just have a friend come over and fuck your wife and raise that baby? i don't see the difference in that and adopting tbh
DreadKnight: benkay, said before I don't have children; had a few pets when I was younger; avoiding human companion atm
benkay: k you're disqualified from opining on relationships until you address all the above
DreadKnight: cazalla, adopting is when you take something already made that most likely has a shitty future; friend coming to fuck your wise is still making something brand new ;)
DreadKnight: benkay, your disqualification is invalid to me
DreadKnight: it's not like everybody needs to make a kid
cazalla: doesn't the urge to fuck come from that though
cazalla: people who say that probably have small dicks
benkay: lol meaning you disqualify yourself from finding mates because they're stupid so you don't actually have to try to get laid
DreadKnight: cazalla, I'm doing really well in that field actually
DreadKnight: benkay, I'm not disqualifying myself, I like artsy chicks usually and single ones are pretty rare around
cazalla: why are you attracted to smart women DreadKnight? my wife is dumb as rock and that's how i like it
DreadKnight: why were you attracted to your wife? good looks? character/charisma? supportive?
benkay: cazalla needs to feel superior
cazalla: DreadKnight, because she's loving, friendly, well natured, modest, prefers to do her craftwork, lampworking etc in her spare time instead of going out getting drunk
mircea_popescu: <DreadKnight> they seem to have knee protection, so probably walked in 4 limbs for quite a bit << yeah bursitis is no fun
DreadKnight: I'm attracted to smart women because they feel less like robots/animals, in the sense they're not all about sex / shopping / make-up; and if they even have an artistic side, like drawing, then even better :3
mircea_popescu: <benkay> panromantic demisexual << spending a lot of time daydreaming ?
mircea_popescu: <kuzetsa> "it's all good" << traditionally this isn't called anything but "desperate" you know.
DreadKnight: cazalla, sounds pretty nice overall; I prefer tities a bit more though
mircea_popescu: <cazalla> benkay, because i thought i was going to die << so what, something like "eh fuck the world, im dieing anyway" ?
cazalla: DreadKnight, well you should see these ones, full of milk, doubled in size :)
DreadKnight: cazalla, the thing is that around here in this city, there's a really nasty stereotype of girls, "pitzipoanca", basically a club barbie doll that's so not my type
cazalla: mircea_popescu, well yeah, if i'm honest that was part of it
mircea_popescu: <benkay> son you're crazy <<< wasn't that mocsny fellow derping the same derpage in the 90s ? o, soon sex robots!!1
DreadKnight: cazalla, pitzipoanca is usually smoking, has a lot of dresses, make-up, talks all the time on expensive latest iphone, goes clubbing all the time, listens only to music like house or manele (gypsy crap)
cazalla: DreadKnight, i don't like that either
mircea_popescu: DreadKnight the valley girl is not as romanian as you think.
nanotube: fluffypony: the20year's problem was his browser was caching the old encrypted otp. heysteve's is probably same?
DreadKnight: cazalla, my mayor is a drug addict with classical cars and there are a ton of "posh" clubs around, so I'm not quite in the place I should probably be
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, yeah, noticed the pattern in other areas as well
mircea_popescu: benkay: DreadKnight: gotta start from a known-good state. << a well chosen known-bad state works even better.
benkay: if you're just learning how to do the thing?
mircea_popescu: cazalla: people who say that probably have small dicks << zing, srsly.
mircea_popescu: artsy chicks are hard to get by now ?! what world is this!
benkay: mircea_popescu: seems that training slaves is one of those things you can only learn by doing
mircea_popescu: try and find some twentysomething that ISNT belabouring under the delusion that she can "create" art.
DreadKnight: quite a bit of people seen me naked and they said I'm doing really good length wise; and I was really cold at that time (shrinkage)
benkay: <mircea_popescu> try and find some twentysomething that ISNT belabouring under the delusion that she can "create" art. // srsly
cazalla: DreadKnight, exception that proves the rule perhaps
benkay: <DreadKnight> quite a bit of people seen me naked and they said I'm doing really good length wise; and I was really cold at that time (shrinkage)
benkay: // but nothing to compare on your own?
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, compared to other types, artsy chicks are fewer, so more difficulty in getting one
benkay: DreadKnight: that's a geography problem
cazalla: DreadKnight, you see artsy as smart, i see it as dumb, we probably like the same women
DreadKnight: so a girl who makes 3d characters is dumb, while one that only smokes and drinks is better? xD
benkay: til that dumb has nothing to do with intelligence in aus
cazalla: DreadKnight, i'm sure i read something before that people who drink excessively are often smart

kuzetsa: mircea_popescu: I don't agree to that joke about "desperate", particularly when demisexual persons are considered part of the asexual spectrum, and in my case, I don't particularly have a strong & compelling sex drive a lot of the time
kuzetsa: yes, human asexuality isn't a black & white condition, there are gradiations and different forms it can take (like for instance, demisexual)
cazalla: mircea_popescu, i don't think people who refrain from drinking actually fuck, my missus for example
benkay: the person who drives the relationship makes sex happen, not the other way around.

mircea_popescu: anyway, does kuzetsa get the crown for the first libertard to have tried b-a or does truffles actually get that one ?
kuzetsa: ok, then what's a libertard?
mircea_popescu: someone who mistakenly believes that human life can have meaning outside of an opressive structure.
kuzetsa: specifically, is it a pejorative term (I assume) aimed at a particular political affiliation?
kuzetsa: mircea_popescu: oh, no, I don't think humans are AT ALL MEANINGFUL IN THE WHOLE UNIVERSE EVER
mircea_popescu: generally, people who identify as liberals, progressives, social-something or the other etc.
kuzetsa: the universe would still exist if humanity was wiped out
kuzetsa: this planet is nothing special either
mircea_popescu: basically, anyone who's to the left of, being in favour of the release of serbs in medieval germany/russia could count as a libertard, depending how the conversation turns.
kuzetsa: so to clarify, are you referring to things vaguely on the side of "social left" = libertard?
DreadKnight: kuzetsa, do you think that the opinion of all people matter? (something to step in the right direction)
kuzetsa: DreadKnight: no, most people don't matter
mircea_popescu: <kuzetsa> DreadKnight: no, most people don't matter << isn't that opressive ?!
kuzetsa: people don't matter, and their opinions tend to be at least twice as stupid
kuzetsa: DreadKnight: as mircea_popescu said, this isn't an ontological discussion (and then you chimed in to qualify: it's political)
kuzetsa: nah, more along the lines of the heat death of the universe (at which point, politics are no longer relevant)
kuzetsa: heat death of the universe resets everything to a state of entropy, including politics
mircea_popescu: one of the telling symptoms of the libertard is that he'll replace his person as is with some sort of ilimited derivative of god, and pretend to concern himself with "the termic death of the universe".
DreadKnight: universe will likely reset itself, all supposedly immortal beings within it's bounds will get poked as well with it
mircea_popescu: this is not a consideration open to you, the demiamorous pansexual w/e the hell.
kuzetsa: aliens wouldn't be as tedious as human-type people are... socializing is hard :(
kuzetsa: (this is that "social idiot" thing I mentioned)
mircea_popescu: right, the dollies wouldn't be as hard as the classmates, if the dollies were classmates.
kuzetsa: DreadKnight: none, no, they just seem plausibly less tedious (though not neccessarily friendly to be around) than figuring out how people work
DreadKnight: Kushed, just because they're from a different place doesn't mean they're not affected by polarity / gravity and yin&yang as well
kuzetsa: DreadKnight: my premise in thinking it would plausibly be less tedious isn't that they would be "better" but that it would be less "same old shit"
DreadKnight: anyway, you're kinda dodging the libertard subject thingy, so moving on I guess...
kuzetsa: I don't know what libertard means, so yeah
DreadKnight: kuzetsa, same colors in their world as well, unless they get to see more of them or maybe less
DreadKnight: seen a nice asian movie about humanity going blind

mircea_popescu: <kuzetsa> my problem is not knowing what's appropriate << generally, if it's offensive it's appropriate.
mircea_popescu: kuzetsa> speaking of which, I had been meaning to see if MPEX or any of the others have a decent API << ahhh all the history one does not know :D
assbot: Page not found pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
benkay: oh and a side note mpex.co is hardcoded into asset descs mircea_popescu
kuzetsa: I see, I see... now that I have nick highlighting set up on my client it actually highlights me and makes a flashing screen notification when people mention my nick
kuzetsa: mircea_popescu: thanks though, I never would've noticed that (delayed) reply if you hadn't included my nick in the message.
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, hah, I like that bani-pentru-piariste article; If it was up to me I would have skipped college, but parents... *sigh*
kuzetsa: offensive is appropriate though... hmm
DreadKnight: I used to have a buddy who's an informatics teacher at a highschool; when I talked in english he usually found that rather offensive and snobbish
DreadKnight: basically he didn't knew english well enough but was afraid to admit it
decimation: what's 'informatics'? computer programming?
DreadKnight: I find it sad when I see people who want to make money from IT but they just don't focus on properly learning english first
kuzetsa: just FYI, warning, that pic is likely meant as an attempt at offending straight men
DreadKnight: decimation, computer science; basically talking about components and crap; most of the time leaving students to spend time on the internet as they wish while he's getting paid anyway
kuzetsa: mircea_popescu: come to think of it, I think it was actually you who originally posted that in a bitcoin channel a couple years ago
decimation: yeah it seems english has become the lingua franca of that kind of work
kuzetsa: who needs a plague... the creatures of earth? how big a plague? global pandemic? regional outbreak?
kuzetsa: I saw a game I've been meaning to try out which simulates biological attacks on the planet (earth, or some other... don't recall) or something
DreadKnight: decimation, ex-gf bugged me a lot to teach her web design / coding so that she can make a lot of money easily; she fails at english and she's not passionate or smart enough; and people around said I'm against finding a companion and rather set high standards xD
kuzetsa: mircea_popescu: how old school "that" is ... which "that" are you referring to?
DreadKnight: kuzetsa, "we need a new plague" is from "The office" show, it's basically a meme now, google it
kuzetsa: I've seen the office (both the UK and american variant)
DreadKnight: tried to watch UK one as well, simply stopped.
DreadKnight: don't want to see the exact same jokes by copy cat actors all over again
DreadKnight: and not always very fond of british accent and words
assbot: Plague Inc: Evolved Official Launch Trailer - YouTube
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, did you went to college yourself? it's a bit of a trend now apparently for people in IT set on becoming rich

kuzetsa: [23:23:25] <+kuzetsa> I saw a game I've been meaning to try out which simulates biological attacks on the planet (earth, or some other... don't recall) or something
kuzetsa: "plague inc." is a game, not a movie
kuzetsa: that's a trailer for the PC / console version, it was originally a smartphone/tablet app

cazalla: kuzetsa, you're going to have to try much harder, that image is ofn and very tame. Choosing which one you would fuck if you had to is still a tough decision though
cazalla: fwiw, i'd fuck B, can look past the cock, can't the physique of the left
DreadKnight: benkay, yes, was afraid it might have been the case;
benkay: hell no that's not comedy.
DreadKnight: benkay, anyway, "copy cat" as in trying to fill the same shoes, so doesn't matter what order, if you see something else trying to be the same thing, it just feels wrong
kuzetsa: DreadKnight: It was so long ago I can barely remember either
kuzetsa: DreadKnight: though I think I like the non-UK office better
kuzetsa: trying to decide if I want to analyze the behavior of Win32/Bropia.G.worm in a sandbox or just nuke it and let someone else do the forensics tonight :(

kuzetsa: applying stereotypical assumptions and substituting loose correlations in place of logic

benkay: bitcoin's going to fix that for them
kuzetsa: benkay: hmm? what is bitcoin going to fix?
kuzetsa: no clue what you mean by "switching"
kuzetsa: I use 3 or more OS per day most days, and rarely less than 2 (and one of them is always my linux box sitting at the local datacenter)
DreadKnight: I'm not sure what bitcoin has to do with the OS
kuzetsa: DreadKnight: I am, windows has a good reputation for being more solid for gaming than linux or mac
kuzetsa: other than that it's a very small (and constantly shrinking) list of apps which are native windows ones and happen to be part of some workflow or other
thestringpuller: "Bill Gates pushed for DirectX in the 90's now everyone writes for windows when on PC thus windows is better" argument
DreadKnight: kuzetsa, lmao; plenty of linux games, plus linux can also run windows games; that reputation is total FUD, it's based on people believing that and keeping at it
kuzetsa: thestringpuller: driver support too, not just the directx API / abstraction layer
thestringpuller: DreadKnight: it's damn near impossible to run some games on Linux that were for windows.
DreadKnight: it's like buying games for nintendo console and wanting to play them on your ps3.
kuzetsa: thestringpuller: also, Steam OS is probably not going to support anonymous, random hardware as well as windows
benkay: DreadKnight: bitcoins will vanish mysteriously from all windows boxes.
DreadKnight: benkay, oh, I sure hope so and it sounds pretty likely to happen
benkay: quit trollin, thestringpuller
DreadKnight: thestringpuller, tell that to the average joe
benkay: you run gpg on windows
benkay: it's futile, i tell ya.
DreadKnight: how to I list gpg key id's btw? using shell/terminal
benkay: you don't wait for your house to catch fire to admit that you built it out of paper and paper burns
benkay: you don't build a fucking house out of paper in the first place
kuzetsa: I think I need to go encrypt a sandwich, brb

DreadKnight: benkay, the website itself doesn't seem to be a scam, but yeah, there are scammers on it for sure
DreadKnight: btcjam basically has the same amount of credibility as any crowd funding website in existence
DreadKnight: because it's about the people using the website
Namworld: What's wrong with windows? I hardly ever get any issue whatsoever. If it gave me any problem, I'd switch. Runs all I need, plus runs games easily. Not like anything critical is going on on that machine.

FabianB: closing yes, but not resolution
jurov: here mp explicitly said "bids/asks availability is not guaranteed"
FabianB: isn't on bbet either, often bets with 0.1 on yes and 10 btc on no
assbot: BitBet - Bitstamp out of business in 2014 :: 0.07 B (21%) on Yes, 0.26 B (79%) on No | closing in 4 months 6 days | weight: 46`695 (100`000 to 1)
jurov: on bitbet, if i place 10btc on Yes and advertise the bet, there is a chance someone props up the other side
jurov: and i can always add something to No side
jurov: and the closing date is clear, it is not expected to be any delays there
jurov: with D.BSTP/F.DERP, i can buy more than 10BTC
jurov: but closing date is unknown
jurov: and if situation gets interesting, mp can pull asks, leaving me unable to add something to other side
jurov: plus, like the s.nsa example, it may be impossible to get out
FabianB: so to use derps you need to be more confident about your bet than on bitbet?
jurov: i'm just saying it's much bigger risk than bitbet
FabianB: as for s.nsa or s.bbet i agree it's a little odd that it's not traded more actively, and why ppl mostly buy at IPO and not later
jurov: imo it's easily understandable - why would anyone buy stocks with completely unclear time horizon?
punkman: jurov, but it works if you are a Bitstamp believer
jurov: and risk having bitcoins frozen on mpex?
jurov: punkman: find me some bitstamp believers who don't hate mircea
punkman: jurov, that is a problem for all the D series, indeed
jurov: well, anoher factor
FabianB: jurov: but why buy into s.nsa at IPO then, time horizon was always unknown ?
jurov: others wait till nsa ships
thestringpuller: if BTC market cap grows (in terms of fiat) DERPS stay the same, and the implicity valuation rises.
FabianB: another interesting point you say is: you think everyone on mpex is trading on the same side; no-one is on the other, sinc e the other side wouldn't use mpex
jurov: i hope not, but...
pigeons: no there is a lot of truth to that
pigeons: it was for more than it was trading for.
pigeons: i dont know how you are determining "implicit NAV" the value was based on dividends paid from earnings from bets, which greatly fluctuated
pigeons: the bankroll was not included as an asset for purposes of the share ownership. share ownership only gave you a claim to earnings
pigeons: which sometimes were losses
punkman: even if you don't get the believers to trade, you get them to pass up 2.5x discount and maybe consider that keeping their BTC might be better than giving them to random derps.
pigeons: that you had to make up the next month
fluffypony: so maybe the DERPs would have been better suited to have been run on Havelol by an independent intermediary
pigeons: i imagine they can still run passthroughs if they choose, like they did with DICE
pigeons: so that is a counterpoint, if there was sufficent demand, someone likely would run a passthrough
pigeons: they had really fat commissions on the S.DICE passthroughs
punkman: I'd expect insiders might be keen to buy DERPs when on the verge of IPO

mircea_popescu: from what i gather, your problem was that you were using an old, cached and therefore expred otp ?
DreadKnight: nagzter, would be funny if the joke coin would take off and not the "real" one, twitter scenario
the20year1: Well, that was the original problem, nanotube helped me get past that , the problem now lies with /query (pm) to assbot to self-up
nagzter: DreadKnight: it could happen I suppose
nagzter: People do seem to like the silly name

the20year1: now my next question is once you !up yourself, is it only a 30m voice?
DreadKnight: HeySteve, well, no mana as there is no magic; there's plasma to protect Dark Priest (summoner) and also make units (so more / better units = less protection, it's a tradeoff); each unit has it's own energy stat, abilities require energy, there's also meditation to replenish that, but if an unit gets damaged in a round above a treshold (more than endurance stat), then the unit gets no regen it's next turn (regrowth for health and m

HeySteve: DreadKnight, wasn't aware of that tradeoff, makes sense. that's the kind of mechanic I was suggesting, like you could use a lot of powerful unit abilities or summon a lot of creatures, but not both as a strategy
HeySteve: yeah I didn't get that from testing it
chetty: V 44. The alpha person at a gathering of "high status"
chetty: persons is often, detectably, the waiter.(Taleb)
DreadKnight: HeySteve, there's setting for limiting number of units; they're pretty big compared to HoMM games anyway; combat field gets more crowded easier, especially in 2vs2
DreadKnight: HeySteve, keep in mind higher level units cost way more, there's a cost formula
kakobrekla: dont change the car when it only needs gas.

DreadKnight: "rich" seems to be more of a state of mind; kinda like you're saying on your blog "pay up or this could wither and die" on your blog mircea_popescu, even though that's not the case, but I like the lesson you're teaching
mircea_popescu: and physicists don't think in "objects", what an ignorant thing to say
mircea_popescu: no but srsly, "objects" ? what is this, naive physicalism cca 1880 ?
DreadKnight: most physicists actually don't believe in objects and matter, it's all energy or simply nothing
mircea_popescu: and i'll venture to say that pretty much all the good philosophers similarly don't think in "concepts", whatever that is, but in a sort of equivalent of the wavefununction, except it has two major irreducible statements. one's systematic the other historical.
mircea_popescu: but any philosopher worth his salt will interact not with a "concept" but with either the graph of that concept's history in the mind of man,
mircea_popescu: or else with the graph of that concept and its relations.
DreadKnight: otherwise he'll have a hard time explaining things to people
mircea_popescu: i suspek you're just trying an underhanded approach to introduce the supremacy of engineers over theoretical physicitsts :D
mircea_popescu: so let's take the baby home : real programmers think in terms of functions and macros,
DreadKnight: Newton's falling apple was likely just a nice story to make people visualize things :P
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you know these impostors knew exactly how to build a cern and did.
mircea_popescu: so then ? you dispute it actually works as described ?
mircea_popescu: nobody's arguing there's a large number of would-be followers in any race, who to the acute observer look more like they're going through the motions
DreadKnight: bitcoin is theoretically an energy allowing to polymorph sheeps into cars and so on, to facilitate exchanges and needs
mircea_popescu: obviously a large number of people who like to identify as physicists are in the situation of people who like to identify as rockstars.
mircea_popescu: well if you go at it that way then everything's ancient greek atomism.
mircea_popescu: for that matter, 1940s is 20th century anyway, and sure, engineers take 50 years or so to apply fundamental physics
DreadKnight: theoretical physics might seem to have no application atm, but that's the whole point, debating and eventually (hopefully) allowing to grasp more complex concepts and allow for further technological improvements, like being able to go through worm holes and such
midnightmagic: the physics is not 1940s or prior. i have a friend whose PhD was literally pushing the boundaries of particle physics using results obtained from LHC
mircea_popescu: midnightmagic im kinda saving (radio)astronomy here in a compartment, for later.
midnightmagic: the physics is new, even if it's a negative result
midnightmagic: "no new more fundamental particles as of X TeV in the LHC"
DreadKnight: asciilifeform, things are getting more and more complex now, it takes more work and time
DreadKnight: einstein might have been fake, his wife might have been the smart one
DreadKnight: asciilifeform, just like bitcoin mining is increasing in difficulty
midnightmagic: IMO, in a brand-new field, those singular talents can exist. Once the primary breakthroughs are finished, it requires teams and long-term hard work to push it forward. IMHO anyway. me != physicist.
midnightmagic: not to say I disagree with anything you guys are saying fundamentally of course
DreadKnight: asciilifeform, steven hawkings might be smart, but he's stuck in a wheel chair, so not much for him to do besides brainstorm :P
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what i don't know is that ~everyone~ is pushing it.
mircea_popescu: you don't judge physics by what highschool teachers say about it.
mircea_popescu: i thot we were discussing teh science not teh politics.
mircea_popescu: wait, your theory is that the 5-6bn spent to build the lhc could have been better employed building what alternative item ?
DreadKnight: things are getting exponentially harder, it's like the needle in the haystack
DreadKnight: compare making a wagon with space rockets. NASA is dealing with a lot of math, people and money
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform listen, what 99% of a class believes about the field is uninteresting by the definition of the 99%.
mircea_popescu: 99% of students of physics in 1905 believed it's a resolved problem, too.

kuzetsa: ok, that counts a "close enough" to the safeword **unties**
mircea_popescu: if i happen to have formed a wrong idea it is my god given right as a transcvasimultiultra and so forth to stick to it and nobody can criticize me!
HeySteve: hmm I thought figging was done to horses, to make them run faster in races
mircea_popescu: HeySteve well some people keep fillies for their private entertainment.
kuzetsa: well I tried: "transcvasimultiultra" on bing, and apparently mircea_popescu is a multicultural marketing agent or something
kuzetsa: wait, is bing thinking that's transgender related? I'm so confused now :(
kuzetsa: I should know better than to trust bing :(
kuzetsa: I wonder if maybe that unrecognized-by-bing type word was part romanian or something?
benkay: mircea_popescu: where'd that gifset come from?
mircea_popescu: bitcoinpete: mircea_popescu: there's very little doubt in my mind that if i were in the sort of situation most folk over there enjoy, i'd simply be shooting people. << and yet taleb survives in nyc just fine << yes, he's not in the sort of situation. he's got teh dough.

benkay: <DreadKnight> <benkay> if these people inhabited a space i would commission nukes and glass them <-- I hate words with multiple meanings, because they tend to complicate things, so I really hate Apple for having that name, should be illegal imo *sigh*
benkay: // glass? do you mean google?
benkay: and also DreadKnight ambiguity is good for your brain.
mircea_popescu: FabianB: isn't on bbet either, often bets with 0.1 on yes and 10 btc on no << that's not so often is it ?
mircea_popescu: jurov from what i gather you're looking for a product marketable to the retail investor. that'd likely be mpif. it makes about 1% or so.
mircea_popescu: and has an adequate risk profile. (note that s.dice DID NOT have an adequate risk profile, and the dividends came at considerable capital risk. that the bitcoin retail investor is clueless enough to shove that under the rug makes little difference)
mircea_popescu: jurov: and if situation gets interesting, mp can pull asks, leaving me unable to add something to other side << i shouldn't be the only person in that market. provided anyone gives a shit about the derps themselves or their general market, enough to actually spend the usd they CLAIM to have received in investment, then that market should easily compete with s.mpoe.
mircea_popescu: whether it will or whether it wont fundamentally hinges on whether the vc economy is as relevant for bitcoin as mpoe is. which is a point i can't hardly help i dont think
mircea_popescu: jurov: and risk having bitcoins frozen on mpex? for years? << generally, bitcoin stays frozen somewhere anyway. who cycles bitcoin ?
mircea_popescu: pigeons: no there is a lot of truth to that << there' sa lot of truth to this : there IS NO OTHER SIDE. it's just words on the web.
DreadKnight: benkay, I quoted you, so don't ask me what you meant,lol I just considered you meant to kill them (nuke them) xD
mircea_popescu: i got tons of commends and invitations to discuss and socially groom on the topic of eth. meanwhile, the scammers cycled 5k btc or w/e, at 2k, and i got exactly 0 btc at 5k.
mircea_popescu: now no matter how you dice it, this simply says nobody is doing any buying at all.
DreadKnight: benkay, but yeah, sometimes ambiguity helps making associations and remembering is all about that, plus some brain exercising is not bad, but I thought it's what you had against those people wanting to make a coin called "bacon" or "bacoin"
mircea_popescu: punkman: even if you don't get the believers to trade, you get them to pass up 2.5x discount and maybe consider that keeping their BTC might be better than giving them to random derps. << this is exactly it.
mircea_popescu: glbse idiots didn't move to mpex after i ruined the various "mining" crap. but they DID stop doing it on glbse, and that was that.
DreadKnight: benkay, anyway, associating psychologically something (digital in this case) with food is strange, which I don't like regarding Apple
mircea_popescu: fluffypony: so maybe the DERPs would have been better suited to have been run on Havelol by an independent intermediary << hardly, havelol lists 50% and more directly arbitrageable gaps all the time.
mircea_popescu: basically, if it's not one of the things they misrepresent, it looks like a pig w/o a lipstick.
mircea_popescu: jurov: that's the point, i expect f.* to be impossible to liquidate, unless there is a leak or "leak" << how do you mean ?
punkman: leak of IPO information, and I think he meant d.*
benkay: DreadKnight: i have no idea where you're getting food. oh - bacon? where's the AAPL connection?
mircea_popescu: jurov punkman i don't follow the logic here. explain to me like i was 5 ?
mircea_popescu: unrelatedly : anyone wanna do some alpha testing of a brand new service ?
jurov: like i wrote on s.nsa example, no one will put bids till there's some news
mircea_popescu: jurov if you want to sell, why aren't you putting asks up ?
mircea_popescu: the way market works is that if you know what you want to do, you announce it.
mircea_popescu: it is sinful to at the same time know and not have announced.
jurov: i have multiple past experiences that one has to wait months for such asks to be sold
DreadKnight: benkay, bacon is food, apple is food, naming software or hardware after food is somewhat applying psychological manipulation, think about the Pavlov's dog
DreadKnight: benkay, so when you talk about common stuff like food you think about the less known altcoin or hardware company and the other way around, which is evil
jurov: iirc 20% above ipo/long time average price
benkay: the world is full of associations. policing your brain is your own problem, imho.
mircea_popescu: jurov so it'd take months to sell for more than the average ? this is expected no ?
mircea_popescu: but this is a sidepoint anyway, im more interested in the f.* impossible to liquidate thing
benkay: finance must create incentives for long-term investment, otherwise it's not really useful.
DreadKnight: benkay, most people when they hear "apple" get a little more spit in their mouth, it's how psychology works, you have involuntary reflexes which you can't control properly
benkay: DreadKnight: i care zero whits about most people.
DreadKnight: so it's not really my own problem, is something related to our design and the masses
kuzetsa: DreadKnight: when I hear "apple" I think of the company and feel a little sick
benkay: jurov et al a huge issue in btc finance right now is the lack of long term plays and the fixation on returns! now!
kuzetsa: then again, I'm not "most peolpe"
benkay: DreadKnight: i am not most people.
DreadKnight: kuzetsa, me too, it tans the fruit and ties it to hardware and evil
kuzetsa: aww, you got me in a quote? whatever :(
DreadKnight: benkay, that's exactly what most people say xD
mircea_popescu: benkay well he has a serious problem with a bunch of kids that wish to be made rich by bitcoin through nothing more than just that.
jurov: i mean, if i wanted to liquidate s.nsa, i'd have to sell for 90% and still wait till it gets filled
jurov: same happened with f.mpif recently
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, mainly I have a problem with Apple and who allowed it to have that name
benkay: DreadKnight: and yet i'm a baron of la serenissima, and most people are not never will nor ever could.
mircea_popescu: jurov you mean the ~20 btc that sold for 21ish average and the book is pretty much back ?
DreadKnight: benkay, first that I hear that word, guess it's a location xD
mircea_popescu: DreadKnight no, mainly you're turrning yourself into a problem because you keep beating that dead horse discussion while we're talking finance, which is the overriding topic here.
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, very common names can give companies or product a huge boost regarding making those finances
DreadKnight: there's a lot of psychology in branding, can even make or break the products themselves
mircea_popescu: fluffypony: 46k-spent-mining-hardware-final-reckoning << that'd have been a much better post if it actually included numbers. you know, paid this, then, made back this much so far etc.
mircea_popescu: and i guess if it weren't on coindesk. which two are problly synonymous anywaqy.
benkay: i suppose if they're undifferentiable from other chicom-originating crap, DreadKnight. otherwise, there's value provided that a brand has nothing to do with.
benkay: what's the MPEx brand and how does it make or break MPEx?
DreadKnight: benkay, took my quite a bit to remember that MPEx thing and figure out what part of it names stand for, still not sure about the full name; it's an acronym; anyway, stock related stuff is usually named using acronyms and rather obscure compared to regular brands

assbot: [HAVELOCK] [PETA] 2337 @ 0.00289999 = 6.7773 BTC [-] {2}
DreadKnight: benkay, anyway, was wondering why you said you would nuke those people since you didn't provided an argument; are you against seeing more joke coins or what?
DreadKnight: altcoins are kinda like linux distros nowadays, a lot of people making yet another one for no apparent reason (trying to get rich with not much work), just to change the name and such, hoping they might get lucky
DreadKnight: there are only a few coins that actually bring something new to the table
DreadKnight: well, most alt coins change some variables around, just like linux distros change default packages and wallpaper
DreadKnight: some try to improve stuff under the hood, but I don't have the technical expertise to figure out if those changes are really improvements
DreadKnight: they're kinda like branches of software, so a bit of experimentation is good to be done in "test areas" rather than on the popular blockchain everybody is using
DreadKnight: it's good to have ltc around, just like there's both gold and silver
DreadKnight: it's not very likely any time soon that all humans will only use a coin, same goes for languages; a lot of people benefit from conversions / exchanges
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [PETA] 1910 @ 0.00289999 = 5.539 BTC [-]
DreadKnight: asciilifeform, well, after GPU mining was redundant on btc, a lot of people switched to ltc, but pretty much no coin is worth mining with GPU anymore now
DreadKnight: so it was just a matter of time; mining difficulty keeps increasing
benkay: <DreadKnight> some try to improve stuff under the hood, but I don't have the technical expertise to figure out if those changes are really improvements // if the improvement isn't plain as the nose on my kike face it and everyone behind it are going to get glassed
benkay: improvement on the scale of bitcoin over dollars
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ltc is primarily the politician's captive daughter re "we'll ban bitcoin!"
DreadKnight: yeah, in case btc gets banned, you got more fish in the pond; so either ban "digital currencies" but fiat money kinda got converted to digital with credit cards
DreadKnight: so banning digital currencies altogether would be hypocritical
mircea_popescu: it's not merely "more fish in the pond". that's the easy part. "more swimming fishes, that are doing fine in spite of a laundry list of <deffects> you may imagine"
punkman: DreadKnigh, fiat was digital much earlier than computers
mircea_popescu: that spells out "you don't matter" in politician english.
xmj_: someone banning bitcoin would be the best thing ever, as it's much like a hydra.
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, yeah good point, but I see ltc as the "next missile in line to fire", just in case
mircea_popescu: xmj_ taleb sed so, AndrewJackson even has it in his part message.
chetty: ban bitcoin? might as well try to ban the internet
xmj_: great minds think alike
FabianB: <+mircea_popescu> FabianB: isn't on bbet either, often bets with 0.1 on yes and 10 btc on no << that's not so often is it ? <-- no, just saw a few
DreadKnight: punkman, I'm aware, good point as well :) I guess it's were all the banks and money related problems started appearing... and inflation!
chetty: pass a law, it shall not rain until after sundown
xmj_: chetty: whom would you punish if it did?
chetty: why everyone who noticed of coure
xmj_: there's a way around every law; loopholes are built-in by default anyway.
DreadKnight: hah, there are a lot of re-branded pharmaceutical drugs nowadays, basically the same thing as aspiring or other common stuff, just at way higher prices
dub: remembering the internet does get banned periodically in various locales
chetty: if its against the law to rain before sundown then it cannot happen and if you say it did you are guilty of something
DreadKnight: you don't get to see aspiring ads displayed on tv anyway
dub: and parts of it are permanently banned in many places
dub: there are technical measures they could bring against bitcoin
DreadKnight: I like that btc got mentioned quite a few times in a sci-fi / futuristic show called "Almost Human"
xmj_: chetty: like nothing happened on june 4, 1989, in tiananmen square?
DreadKnight: college students had a protest, they were shot by government / military
chetty: exactly like that, and stalin didnt send anyone to gulags (oh oops actually there wasnt anyone named stalin to do that)
dub: china is not exactly a shining example of freedom
xmj_: dub is missing the point
DreadKnight: asciilifeform, maybe, but at least something got out about the event instead of total darkness
DreadKnight: dub, communism is not freedom; china made own linux distro and imposed it, for a fee, in internet-caffee places and other businesses, kicking microsoft in the nuts and finally taking over
mircea_popescu: <dub> remembering the internet does get banned periodically in various locales << in the sense it's banned in antarctica, sure.
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, radio waves melting the ice or what? xD
dub: iraq is the most recent example I'm aware of, but pick anywhere the 'arab spring' reared up
dub: key word 'periodically'
mircea_popescu: there's two conflated points here. you can ban "consumer" grade shit any time. this is fine but irrelevant. bitcoin is not consumer stuff.
mircea_popescu: banning consumer grade shit usually is accomplished through being poor.
mircea_popescu: if us bans cotton tomorrow, or oil, or w/e, it'd simply be because it finally became too poor to afford it.
chetty: much of the world is already way too dependant on internet, heck its even in soda vending machines now
mircea_popescu: they call it vegetarian or w/e the hell, but facts are facts.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform american really has naught to do with it.
mircea_popescu: dub i'll bet you us population will be under 200mn by 2050.
dub: hey if I had my way it would be under 50
chetty: nah, don forget the migration from the south, they will repopiulate
dub: but a spring in the sense of populace uprising, nah
mircea_popescu: dub it won't be identified or self-identify as "populace"
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, the mexican drug cartels already sprung all the way to arizona.
mircea_popescu: there's no particular reason the command center of that continent has to be in the far away east coast.
chetty: I thought they were in Chicago
mircea_popescu: california was and will be happy to continue as a province of mexico city.
mircea_popescu: so you know, the day i can bribe a mexican official to shoot a federal agent for sport...
assbot: Public Enemy - By The Time I Get To Arizona - YouTube
mircea_popescu: it might as well have happened. whatever "the populace" did

HeySteve: orlov has a lot to say about the failure of imperial USA, he's not the only one to predict balkanization

decimation: the USA: "they believed their own propaganda bullshit"
mircea_popescu: decimation here's a thought : if the number of us agents executed was small, you'd see a lot of publicity over the cases. the reason you don't hear a peep about it is that..
decimation: I'm not sure that usg is capable of keeping the deaths of its employees secret
decimation: someone, somewhere misses the deceased, presumably
mircea_popescu: can you name the people that were butchered in the benghazi pile of lol ?
chetty: decimation, I used to think that, but they dont need to keep secrets, just keep waving flags at more important stuff
mircea_popescu: and that was an embassy. not "accidental death" walking down the street.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform one of the casualties was a major part of something awful (ie, where teh libertard community resides. it's a sort of anti-bitcoin, that thing)
mircea_popescu: now, how many people did cia lose there ? "presumably someone misses them"... well... do you ?
decimation: chetty: there's a difference between the media trumpeting a fact and the fact being hidden
mircea_popescu: but do this, for your own amusement. compile the list of dead us agents in arizona, new mexico, something, during one year.
dub: the good ole' line of dooty
mircea_popescu: you want the prosecutors, you want the FBI, you want the state police, etc.
chetty: even stuff that hits the front page is gone with the next headline

mircea_popescu: jurov incidentally, this reminds me : supposedly people plunked down 5k btc to be locked away in an ethereum address for at least six months, if not more

decimation: well, according to that site 78 officers were killed by gunfire across the entire US in 2012-2013
mircea_popescu: obviously at this point you're addressing the wrong market :D
decimation: I guess I don't see it, I don't think us gov't agents are dying that often, why bother killing them anyway?
mircea_popescu: decimation you know how many people die in romania in a year ?
mircea_popescu: allow me to blow your mind : a degree of magnitude fewer per capita than US agents.
chetty: how about how many bankers, that one is getting interesting. Being a banker is not healthy these days
dub: asciilifeform: there's all kinds of upsides to flooding the us with drugs
mircea_popescu: in short : it's dangerous fucking work, working for the dying empire.
mircea_popescu: much, much more dangerous than the empire is to the world at large.
decimation: I don't think the usg hides this stuff either, it just gets pushed into statistics that no one reads. The usg has a compulsion to account for itself (in its own crazy way)
mircea_popescu: in fact, a us agent has better chances of being shot on the job than someone breaking a us law of being sent to jail.
decimation: well, considering that in practice nearly everything can be construed as illegal in the us, that's probably true
DreadKnight: Hollywood makes a lot of movies encouraging death in the line of work; patriotism / heroism / martyr bs propaganda / brainwashing
decimation: it's true that the dying empire thing isn't such a great deal anymore
mircea_popescu: kinda the point of posts like the von flondor one. people tend to stop and consider their situation.
bitcoinpete: man alive you guys wrote a lot in the time it took me to put that blog post together
FabianB: mircea_popescu: point wasn't that the odds might not be right, it was that it might make no sense to put even more in the 99% side
mircea_popescu: FabianB well thatr's only a point if the odds aren't right. if they're right, doubling the 99% side will yield a doubling of the 1% side.
bitcoinpete: mircea_popescu: i thought i could do both at the same time but… not even close. sundays are usually lighter
FabianB: mircea_popescu: only if that's more than the fees
mircea_popescu: bitcoinpete sundays aren't what they used to be anymore.
mircea_popescu: FabianB yeah ok, 99% not a good example for sure, yes.
